"We're home!" Alice calls.
I go downstairs and get plowed to the ground.
"Hey, Pneuma!" I say.
I scratch her behind her ears.
"Pneuma, off!" momma says.
She gets off and walks over to momma.
"Good girl," momma praises and gives her a treat.
Suddenly, I'm in the air and spinning.
"Emmett, put her down!" Jasper growls.
He puts me on my feet and I fall. Jasper helps me up and holds me against his side.
"You have I be careful with Emma. She's not like she used to be," Jasper says.
Emmett sulks upstairs, dragging Rosalie behind him.
"You know the rules," Edward says, "Not within a five mile radius."
In a blur, Emmett and Rosalie run outside.
"How are you, Emma?" Carlisle asks.
I catch the double meaning of his question. I opt for the less common version.
"My skin has hardened, my mind seems to be working faster, and my senses are intermediate."
And my throat hurts like hell, I think. Let Edward hear that.
He chuckles.
"How's your diet?"
"Five bottles a day."
"Human?"
I nod.
"Could we get that down to three?"
"I don't think so."
"Four?"
"Maybe."
"Try to only have four, but if you need more, have animal."
Jasper bolts away for a second and comes back with a bottle. I drink it, but scrunch up my nose as I do. Animal.
As it goes down my throat, I choke. I stop drinking and freeze. My throat closes up and my whole body aches.
"Carlisle?" I ask.
I am completely and utterly horrified.
Jasper picks me up and runs me upstairs into the bathroom. He sets me down in front of the toilet and says, "Throw it up."
I look at him like he's crazy and shake my head. He points to the toilet. I kneel down and throw it up, while Jasper holds my hair and rubs my back.
"You're allergic," Carlisle says as he walks in the door.
"Are you serious?" I gasp.
Another wave comes and I throw up.
"Your body got adjusted to human and didn't like the change."
I groan and throw up more.
"Make it stop," I growl.
"How many bottles have you had?" Carlisle asks.
"That was her third," Jasper says.
"We're going to be here awhile."
"It all has to come out?" I ask.
"Afraid so," Carlisle says.
Hey guys! McCarty35 here. So I'm not getting many views. Is it because you're all going back and reading Nanu Means Beautiful or is Conversations with a Polar Bear just that bad?
